Join avid bird watcher and wildlife biologist Dave King for a trip through the Wildwood Cemetery grounds. We will likely see a variety of migrant birds returning from their winter homes in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. We expect to walk 1–2 miles on terrain that is a mix of dirt roads and woodland paths, including some gentle hills.
We'll meet at the cemetery business office in the brick Dickinson Farmhouse. Parking is available at the Farmhouse (cemetery business entrance is across from the Wildwood Elementary School) and the Main Entrance (top of Strong Street). Please do not park on the grass, and be respectful of the grounds and the people who come to mourn. It's a good idea to bring mosquito and tick protection. Please note the restroom facilities will NOT be open. Limited to 15 participants. (E)
